Use sensory integration techniques to help children regulate and succeed in various environments.

Support fine motor, gross motor, and visual motor skill development for school and play readiness.

Collaborate closely with Speech Therapists, BCBAs, and educators for a holistic care approach.

Coach and educate parents and caregivers to generalize therapy goals at home and school.

Maintain accurate records, treatment notes, and progress reports.

Recommend and train on adaptive tools or assistive technology as needed.

What We're Looking For

Education : Master's or Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (from an accredited program).

Licensure : Current Georgia OT license and NBCOT certification.

Experience : Pediatric or clinical setting experience preferred, especially with children on the autism spectrum.

Skills : Strong assessment, communication, and collaboration skills.

Pathway to leadership and potential equity ownership for long-term stability and success.

Start Date : Role will begin after state OT program onboarding is complete.

Location : In-person at our Buford, GA center 2 3 days per week to begin.
